Mother of All Demos

On Dec 9, 1968 Doug Engelbart stepped onto the stage in front of 2,000 people. He adjusted his headset and sat before his mouse, chord key set, and 20 foot TV projector.

His Augment system prefigured the Web, shared screen teleconferencing, much of what we know as hypertext. And much more to come. See unrev.stanford.edu for a 30th anniversary celebration and video of the original Mother of All Demos.
